MEXICO.
A Perfect Mama for Dueling Has
Broken Out Over the
Lopez Affair.
Meeting of Generals Naranjo and
Pradillo To-day---Accldent
on a British Iron. clad.

Cry OF mexico, September 20.-Great
public interest is felt in the duel an
nounced for tomorrow, between General
Naranjo and General PradiIlo, governor
of the palace. The report was current to-
day at the clubs that the duel was to be to
the death. A duel between two ell-known
Journalists is on the tapis, according to
reports, and few nights since a duel
with swords between two young army
officers resulted seriously, and another
duel with swords occurred in the open
street in the center of the city. The CON
troversy over the question of the treason
of General Lopez has grown very bitter,
and certain distinguished general of the
liberal party is said to have told an
officer under the late empire
that for every imperIalist who wanted
to try conclusions on the field of honor,
there were ready liberal officers who were
not afraid to submit to the arbitration of
al honorable duel. Dueling is contrary
to the civil code, but the law is prac-
tically dead letter, public opinion sus-
tanning this ancient method OF settling
differences.
In the already famous duel of yester-
day between Gen. Rocha and Gen. Gayon,
white gunpowder was used to give extra
force to the ball, and it is stated that
Gen. Rocha offered Gayon another shot,
but that the latter was too weak to under
take 1t. Gen. Rocha's friends believe him
TO bear charmed life, he having been
engaged in numerous affairs without re-
ceiving single scratch.
The rumor spread this afternoon that
Generals Naranjo and Pradillo had already
fought, but this was subsequently contra
dicted on authority. General Gayon is
improving to night, and has been the re-
cipient of many attentions from his late
antagonist, General Rooha, also from
President Dias and other distinguished
citizens.
Judge Manning, the American minister,
leaves tomorrow for trip to the United
States.

GRAIN AND PROVISION MARKETS
CHICAGO,

CHICAGO, September 20.-Dulness again charac
terized the wheat market to-day, and prices held
steady within yesterdays range till near The close
when trade showed some little improvement. The
fact that certain traders who usually lead are now
on the bear side, and think in view of the foreign
situation, "here is no hope for wheat holders" is
being trumpeted daily, and those who would buy
are kept in tim1d state of mind. The firmness
toward the close was attributed to some desire on
the part of shorts to and to large offerings
| Receipts continue quite free aggregating 10000
| bushels at IL points, while shipments from same
were $4,000 bushels. Exports from three sea-
ports were reported as being $4,000 bushels. Oc-
tober wheat opened at GS9sc, declined to 6S5s,
reacted to G916GI69A, and closed at 69c.
Corn opened little off, but showed enough firm
ness during the morning to advance prices about
&c. The quiet continued till the squirt on wheat
just before p. M, when the bulls in the pit
took charge and added another &c to prices of
October and May This left corn &c better than
yesterdays closing price, but at the afternoon SEES
eion there was slight reaction. October sold at
4lc TO open, went to 41}sc and closed at 4lRc
fractonally lower to 44c and left off at 441%I4%c.
Under the influence of light receipts of hogs and
pS Sns prs opened
ticles ruled higher. Offerings were moderate,
while the demand on local and outside accounts
was sufficiently urgent to cause an advance of
lROlOc. After this inquiry was provided for, the
market ruled quiet with little more inclination of
operators to sell, with lighter inquiries from oil
sources, resulting In an easier feeling and lower
prices.
Concluding prices were not noticeaDly changed
from yesterdays close. January divided with DC
tober the interest of the operators. For Oct )ber
delivery lard sold at $685. 40 and short ribs at
S.5O@S 571a, closing at 6.35 O637R and $50, re.
specuyey. Pork ranged for January at 19.25D
II. 3a lard at 6401642M, and short ribs at ESQ
632H This month closed at 1870 for pork; 6 371a

Resigned.

Rev. DR.. R. X. Smoot yesterday ten
dered his resignation as member of the
board of managers of the State Lunatic
asylum, and urged Gov Ross so earnestly
to accept it that the governor finally did
so. 1t is not understood that this step
has been taken by DR.. Smoot as the out
growth of any want of harmony between
himself and the governor, but purely
from desire to relieve himself from the
cares and vexations of official position,
in which there is heavy responsibility and
slight remuneration

In Brief, and to the Point.

DYSPEPSIA is dreadful. Dsordered liver
is misery. Indigestion is foe to good
nature.
The human digestive apparatus is one
OF the most complicated and wonderful
things in existence. 1t is easily put out
of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food,
bad cookery, mental worry, late hours,
irregular habits, and many other things
which ought not to be, have made the
American people nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has done
wonderful work in reforming this sad bus
mess and making the American people so
healthy that they can enjoy their meals
and be happy.
Remember:-No happiness without
health. But Green's August Flower brings
health and happiness to the dyspeptic.
Ask your druggist for a bottle. Seventy
five cents.

Misery After Eating

Is avoided by dyspeptics who, guided by the
recorded experience of thousands, begin and
Systematically pursue course of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. Persistence in the use of
this pure and highly accredited stomachic, is
the sole and agreeable condition of the entire
removal of the obstinate forms of dyspepsia.
no less than temporary fit of indigestion
In connection with the use of this specific, it
lsdeslrable to avoid articles offood which in
dlVidual experience has shown to be difficult
OF digestion by the stomach sought to be
benefited. Each dyspeptc's past observ-
alton OF his digestive capacity should enable
him to be his own guide and mentor in this
particular, not trusting to any set of dietetic
rules too general to be suited to particular
cases. Biliousness and constipation, heart
burn, wind upon the stomach, sour eructa-
lions, headache and mental dependency,
are among the concoHitants of dyspepsia,
and we put it to flight by the Bitters.

She Couldn't Understand It.

"What in the world has happened to
you since the last time 1 saw your" asked
one lady of another when they met on the
street the other day; Il can't understand
it. Then you were pale, haggard and
low spirited, and l remember you said
that you hardly cared whether you lived
or died. To-day you look ever so much
younger, and it is very evident from your
beaming face that your low spirits have
taken flight" Eyes, indeed" was the
reply; land shall l tell you what drove
them away? II was DR.. Pierces Favorite
Prescription. l was a martyr to func-
tional arrangement until began taking
the Prescription Now l am as well as 1
ever was in my life. No woman who suf-
fers as did, ought to let an hour pass be-
fore procuring this wonderful remedy"
